domain gambling domain with $2k average income per month

[theprivatejetcompany]

Hi,

I have a domain with website related to the US casino / poker market. The average income on this has been over $2k per month for the last few months. (Site is online since nov las year and has PR3.)

The domain name it self has now become a searchterm on Overture as well. American casino gamers tend to seek casinos open to usa and then my domainname.

Since the passing of the gambling bill (which does not make gambling illegal for US citizens), a lot of americans are seeking for casinos open to the usa. My domain name says exactly that and it gets a continous stream of visitors using google, yahoo and msn.

The domain is well placed and indexed on Google, listing on the top pages with relative keywords.

Revenue is from the different casino affiliate programs.

I have heard that domains like this are worth quite some money. I am looking to hear from anyone who might know what a domain is worth taking in this kind of revenue and being listed on the Google page #1 on several keywords, USA casino related.

Due to the fact that I do not want my domain name placed on this forum as being for sale, I am not mentioning the name here.

If anyone is interested to learn more, please PM me.

Thanking you for your input

About 24x revenue a month (50k) if you find a serious buyer and sell it in the right place. But anyone on DigitalPoint would give you a cool 25k for it... they believe in 12x revenue :D. I like selling for 18-24x revenue which happens more than most people think.

Making 2k per month of course make it very valuable. I think 1-2 years revenue would be a fair price as long as the domain was likely to continue making money at the same or an increased rate. So like bfluid basically said, $24k to $48k would be a fair price. I'd be happy with the mid-range of that, perhaps $30-$34k.

I dont think these appraisals are taking into account the current perception on poker domains/sites. The values have dropped quite a bit since the introduction of the new bill and while revenue is revenue, I'm sure any potential buyer would be concerned about the volatility of such a website. From what I've seen in website sales, I think the average is more around 10-12x, which is what I'd see this getting given the circumstances. Obviously, you may be able to get more, but I think the majority of the offers will fall in that range.

Yes, I wasn't taking in account that it was a poker domain. In general if you sell on a forum you will make 10-12x rev. But if you sell in the right place like www.bizbuysell.com where sites sell for 24-72x revenue you will turn a HEFTY profit.

Eehm, nope, it is NOT in my signature..

The domain has not ever been mentioned here..

 

[theprivatejetcompany]

Well, is anybody interested in getting his or hands on this revenue generating domain?

This month sofar, it has made over $2k again and is still earning more..

With one of the affiliate programs I promote on this site, we signed up ten new real paying casino players this month..

The site has around 130 (home made) pages of content, casino, poker, and other directories, a forum, blog, a Google PR 3

The url has had more than 1000 unique visitors this month.. ( stats say Add to favorites (estimated) 423 / 1033 Visitors 40.9 % ) So, people bookmark to come back

The USA is still good for most of the international gambling market, (so it seems) and, the way things look, it is not changing either. Gambling HAS NOT become illegal to Americans. IT is just illegal for banks and credit card companies to make any donations into any gambling site.

So, believe me, the US gambling market is still big enough!

As said before, the actual domain name has been seen in the inventory.overture results as a search term.

Since people are talking about 24 months revenue, I am willing to take any offer above $45k

Due to the value of the domain and to protect the new owner, I decided not to mention the domain on this forum.

I will only discuss the name with serious people interested (and capable) of taking over the domain for the desired amount of money.

It is in the best matter of interest for value now and future value for the buyer. I thank you for respecting this.

Please PM me.

Cheers.

Most of the revenue is from affiliates I'm sure. And the problem is are you going to give this affiliate accounts to the new owner, if not then it will go from making 2k+ a month to approximately 0 a month since sign ups for your domain are probably decling.

The buyer would only need to apply for the programs that are being promoted already. (If he was not an affiliate before) Then, all that is needed is change the affiliate links from being mine into his..

So, no, I reckon the income will continue.

If I won't sell it, I will keep you posted

Very interesting offer, however, isn't illegal in the united states to even promote such gambling websites? I had several affliate poker and casino programs as well but they were all canceled by the gambling sites due to my unites states address. Are the affiliate programs you are signed up with ok with american affiliates?

Not to get off the subject of this thread, but that hasn't been legally determined yet. There is just assumptions and speculation in the interpretatons of the law on both sides of the argument.

I think you can get up to $25,000-35,000 for it

Heres the problem jet company... when a new owner gets this website his affiliate account will start off with 0 signups, while your affiliate account will still have many sign ups and you will continue to make your XXXX per month. The new webmaster I'm sure will see a few sign ups but will not make anywhere close to XXXX per month for at least a couple months. You wiill still be profiting. Therefore I think you cannot dupe people into thinking that they are going to make 2000 the first month they have the website. The affiliate accounts should be transferred or the site is worth squat.

It depends whether he is making $2000 a month off CPA or RevShare. If his affiliate accounts are on CPA then he gets $$ per sign up, therefore the new owner will earn the same as he does now providing new players sign up.
If his affiliate accounts are on RevShare then he recieves a percentage of what the casino makes off the players he signs up, normally for life. Therefore, everyone he has already signed up he will continue to profit off even after he has sold the site, and the new owner won't be making as much untill they make sign ups.

 

[zhalefarin]

thats a good point evermore. Thanks for bringing it up, it does change a lot

 

[goodkarmaco]

Evermore,

your comments throw a wrench into the price mix doesn't it?. Good points to knows.

It is all on revenue share.. The new owner will get the same percentage as I do. The site only works with shared revenue.

(Last month's revenue $2800+) The main earning affiliate program brought 10 new players again.

Since this site is growing (gaining in income), I might not sell it at all.

So its on a per sale basis. No reccuring payments?

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean with that?
